Chapter 130 You still dare to mention it?

Gu Zijian's calm and composed demeanor was indeed gentle and refined, but this was, after all, someone else's home, and he was acting as if he had just entered into someone else's house.

This made Aunt Zhang very unhappy. "Third Master and Young Master Shi are upstairs. I don't need to tell you what they're doing. You're asking me to go up and call them down? Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"It's not about calling them, it's about calling him. Do I need to repeat myself a third time?"

Gu Zijian seemed oblivious to the unspoken meaning in Zhang Sao's words; his tone was calm, yet he exerted pressure on her.

Aunt Zhang, who had seen her share of big events, said directly, "You can call Third Master if it's really that urgent."

After saying that, Aunt Zhang left, clearly trying to intimidate Gu Zijian.

Shi Nianzhi and Lu Jiunian had a fight, and she hasn't come back for so many months, even though Lu Jiunian hasn't brought anyone else back.

But Aunt Zhang knew in her heart that there must be something going on.

Seeing Gu Zijian today made me realize that it was actually the white moonlight from the hospital who had woken up.

Aunt Zhang was a maid hired by the housekeeper from the job market after Lu Jiunian moved into Lujiang Bay alone. She had been in Lujiang Bay for more than five years and knew Gu Zijian before, but since he rarely came to the house, she only had a vague impression of him.

Aunt Zhang treated Shi Nianzhi differently. From the first day Shi Nianzhi arrived at this house, it was Aunt Zhang who received her, and they got along very well afterward.

Shi Nianzhi is a person who is not particularly good, but he is quite likable.

Aunt Zhang treated Shi Nianzhi like her own child, so naturally she sided with Shi Nianzhi.

Therefore, he no longer liked Gu Zijian.

Gu Zijian wasn't angry. If he didn't have any patience, how could he still keep up the act in the Gu family?

He can now even get along with Old Madam Gu, whom he despises the most, with a smile, so he doesn't care about this little bit of anger at all.

Lu Jiunian won't answer the phone.

Gu Zijian went straight upstairs.

In the master bedroom.

Shi Nianzhi lay on top of Lu Jiunian, his head turned to the side, his eyes still misty.

Lu Jiunian held Shi Nianzhi in his arms, stroking his back intermittently.

The man's deep voice asked, "Do you still want it?"

Like a kitten, Shi Nianzhi turned her face to lie on Lu Jiunian's chest, her voice still nasal from crying.

Soft and sweet, "No, I don't want it anymore."

"Really, I don't want it anymore."

"No, I don't want it."

"Then I'll carry you to take a bath. You can sleep for a while, and I'll call you for dinner."

"Um......"

Lu Jiunian got up and picked up Shi Nianzhi, who was lying on him.

There was a knock at the door, and the man frowned, clearly displeased.

Lu Jiunian was currently enjoying Shi Nianzhi's well-behaved and adorable appearance and wanted to spend more time with her.

Which servant is so blind as to come and bother us?

Lu Jiunian didn't intend to pay any attention to it.

Gu Zijian spoke directly, "Are you there? I need to talk to you."

Shi Nianzhi rested his cheek on Lu Jiunian's shoulder, and he could clearly feel Lu Jiunian's steps stop.

They even said they had no contact with Gu Zijian, but now Gu Zijian has come knocking on their door.

Shi Nianzhi's mind was still blank, and his thoughts were not quite back, but he still knew how to be angry.

When he got angry, he opened his mouth and it looked like he was biting Lu Jiunian's shoulder hard, but in reality, he was weak all over and didn't have much strength, so the bite didn't hurt much.

Lu Jiunian, holding Shi Nianzhi, still asked, "What is it? Tell me."

The last time he broke up with Gu Zijian, Gu Zijian privately texted him to ask him out to dinner several times, but Lu Jiunian ignored him.

Gu Zijian came to see him once, but Lu Jiunian's attitude was very cold.

Perhaps it was a foolish move, as Gu Zijian hadn't contacted or looked for him for a long time. The fact that he suddenly said he had something to do made Gu Zijian lose face.

Lu Jiunian thought the matter must be quite important, so he paid attention to it.

Unexpectedly, Shi Nianzhi started making a fuss, struggling to get down from Lu Jiunian's arms, as if she particularly disliked his contact with Gu Zijian.

Such commotion can actually be seen as a sign of insecurity.

Lu Jiunian held Shi Nianzhi in his arms and coaxed her gently, "Okay, be good, stop making a fuss. I won't see him, I won't go out to see him! I'll just say a few words to him through the door, Nianzhi, be good!"

Gu Zijian stood at the door. "Even if you've broken up, you can still be friends, right? Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to lock me out like this?"

Shi Nianzhi called out to the door, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to suddenly appear outside our room and disturb us like this?"

Gu Zijian then seemed to realize that Shi Nianzhi was also there. "I'm sorry, I didn't know I was disturbing you. I just needed to talk to him and thought he was sleeping. If I've disturbed you, I'll leave now."

"Let's go quickly."

Shi Nianzhi's impolite voice.

Gu Zijian was furious outside the door, but in the end he said nothing and turned to leave.

He thought Lu Jiunian would at least come after him, but he overestimated himself; Lu Jiunian didn't.

Lu Jiunian found everything about Shi Nianzhi adorable, so he was particularly indulgent and doting on her.

He pinched Shi Nianzhi. "Satisfied?"

Shi Nianzhi turned her head away, ignoring Lu Jiunian.

Lu Jiunian put him into the bathtub. "He came to find me. I really didn't know."

Her slender fingers tested the water temperature, then she picked up a towel and shower gel. "I'm personally serving you this bath today, so can you please stop looking so grumpy?"

Shi Nianzhi lowered her eyes and continued to ignore Lu Jiunian.

The man said again, "I haven't seen him, have I? I promise you, I won't see him, okay? Don't be angry, you look especially ugly when you're angry."

He rarely spoke kindly to coax her.

Hearing his tone, Shi Nianzhi finally looked up at him and said, "Then you are not allowed to see him."

"good."

"Then I'll trust you one more time."

Shi Nianzhi then showed a pleasant expression.

After taking a shower, Shi Nianzhi was so tired that she fell asleep in Lu Jiunian's arms before even getting to bed.

Lu Jiunian first stayed with Shi Nianzhi for a while to make sure that she was fast asleep.

He took out his phone, closed the door, stood in the hallway, and called Gu Zijian, "What's up?"

"come out."

"......"

Gu Zijian added, "I'm at your door."

Lu Jiunian checked his phone. It had been almost an hour since Gu Zijian had stood at his door, even in this cold weather.

It's cold wind blowing.

The man frowned slightly, but still took a coat with him before leaving.

Gu Zijian stood under the streetlight, looking completely frozen. It was the dead of winter, and even with the sun, the temperature difference between day and night was significant.

The sky was below zero.

Lu Jiunian walked over and handed the coat to Gu Zijian, "Put it on."

Gu Zijian reached out to take it, his frozen fingers deliberately touching Lu Jiunian's hand, intentionally not holding it properly, and the coat fell to the ground.

Lu Jiunian's face darkened, and he bent down to pick up the clothes and draped them over Gu Zijian's shoulders.

"What happened? Your body hasn't fully recovered yet; leaving it cold like this will cause problems."

Gu Zijian's eyes were a little red. He looked at Lu Jiunian and said, "Yeah, it's so cold. Aren't you going to invite me to your house? What good will it do to give me clothes? It's not warm without heating."

Lu Jiunian was silent for a moment before speaking, "Come in."

Gu Zijian's smile was weak and feeble. "No need, don't bother. It'll save you the trouble of your partner getting angry and causing you trouble. Why bother?"

Lu Jiunian looked at Gu Zijian like this.

When Gu Zijian first woke up, he couldn't find that first love feeling in Gu Zijian's eyes and expression.

It was as if the person in front of me was a completely different person.

Looking at Gu Zijian now and listening to him speak, I strangely felt that initial feeling again.

Lu Jiunian turned his gaze away. "If you have something to say, just say it. I'll help you if I can."

Gu Zijian readily agreed, "Okay, I'm currently busy with a project and I need a partner. I'd like you to join us."

“I will review the project proposal once it is submitted to the company. If possible, I will become an investor.”

"You're so eager to distance yourself from me, afraid your wife at home will get jealous?"

Gu Zijian let out a low groan, exhaling a puff of white mist into the cold air.

"I promised him I would be devoted to him."

Then, looking at Gu Zijian's angry face, Lu Jiunian seemed to have nothing more to say, "That's fine then."

Watching the man's departing figure, Gu Zijian said, "Recently, I've gradually been able to recall some past events, the details of our time together."

Lu Jiunian froze, but ultimately left as if he hadn't heard anything.

Gu Zijian watched the door close, then glanced up at the second floor.

Then a cold glint appeared in his eyes, "Shi Nianzhi, don't rush things. Enjoy your honeypot. How can I send you to hell without hurting you deeply?"

Before that, all he had to do was act well.

Lu Jiunian went back.

Shi Nianzhi hurriedly came downstairs barefoot, almost slipping and falling down the stairs.

Lu Jiunian quickly stepped forward and hugged him, "What are you doing? Why are you in such a panic?"

Shi Nianzhi looked up at Lu Jiunian with unease and fear, "Where did you go?"

"I didn't go anywhere."

Shi Nianzhi grabbed Lu Jiunian's hand, "Your hands are so cold, did you go out?"

In that instant, the light in Shi Nianzhi's eyes went out. He looked at Lu Jiunian coldly, and then pushed him away forcefully.

You lied to me again!

Shi Nianzhi walked towards the entrance and took his clothes.

Lu Jiunian walked over and snatched it away, demanding, "What are you doing?"

"I'm not playing with you anymore, you big liar, let me go!"

"Can't you calm down!"

Shi Nianzhi's voice suddenly sharpened, "You told me you wouldn't go out, but you turned around and went to find Gu Zijian behind my back! All your behavior and sweet talk these past few days have been a lie!"

Shi Nianzhi didn't even want his clothes anymore; he didn't care about going out in such thin clothes.

Lu Jiunian hugged Shi Nianzhi tightly, pulling him inside. "I didn't go to see Gu Zijian. I went out... to check on your two chickens."

"Why are you looking at the chicken? Didn't you stew it to nourish Gu Zijian?"

When Shi Nianzhi mentioned this, the fire in his chest burned even more fiercely.
